11. your current relationship
In July, we will have been married for 10 years. I still can’t believe the time went by so fast. For the most part, I think we’re the same people that we were then. We still love each other ridiculously — and love our ridiculousness. But we’re not immune to the “been married a damn long time” rut either. We’re not daily sex people anymore. We fart in front...
10. your views on drugs and alcohol
In a nutshell: I don’t care what other people do, so long as they’re not affecting other people. I grew up in a hippie household where my parents grew their own weed in the backyard. I socialize with a lot of artsy fartsy people who like their joints and beers. I know people who responsibly use cocaine. It doesn’t bother me a bit.
However, it’s a whole other ball of wax...
I am in Florida!
Tomorrow, I am going to Disney World by myself. Just like every kid dreams it.
I forgot the battery for my camera. I am disappointed in myself.
9. your last kiss
It’s uninteresting that I kiss my husband and kitties all the time, right?
8. something you're currently worrying about
Just one? Shit, finances is the same-old thing. Other than that, I’m worrying about my liver. A few months ago my mid-section was aching so bad that I went to the doctor and it was determined that I have gallstones. Because I haven’t been “sick” in years, I don’t have a regular GP anymore, so I just went to the walk in clinic. The doctor there was so blase about the...

7. your opinion on cheating people
I just don’t see the point. If you’re unhappy with your relationship, change it or end it.
She's a Mighty Ship: Kathie Webb is amazing. →
This is INCREDIBLE work. I think you have to click-through to see all the images because Tumblr will truncate this post, but I really think you should.
shesamightyship:
This woman is AMAZING.
This entire image is hand embroidered. Kathie’s work as a fibre artist revolves around her (dis)abled daughter, Kaitlin. Most of her images are copies of everyday life activities and motions that Kathie...
Oh Noes!
gigglymama:
My daughter just came skipping up to me, “Hey mom, what’s this? with my bright pink vibrator in her hand. *Wishing this moment would just rewind to the scene where I didn’t forget to put the toys away*.
All I could do was zero in on it and grab it from her, lightning fast, explaining quickly that it’s just a medical device I need for *muffled nonsense answer*…..while scurrying...
WIP Wednesday

giddygirlie:
I LOVE THIS
I forgot to ask earlier: is the middle line ok aligned to the left like that? It was originally going to be centered and then I thought it didn’t look right, since Venkman is on the left… but now that it’s all together I’m having doubts. Opinions?
WIP Wednesday
I sewed you a zoetrope
weareallangry:
I made this sewn zoetrope for the “Dwelling on the Past” group show at Twilight Artist Collective in Seattle.
Title: Persistence Medium: Cross stitch, Embroidery
I don’t have a ton of photos so you’ll have to wait to see full details. (The outside has black-on-black details, for example.)
Here’s a still shot that the fabulous Rosalie Gale took at the opening:
The kind and...
Truthful Tuesday
I’m wearing my last clean pair of underpants. I am in too much pain to battle laundry so I’m making a plan to not leave the house tomorrow. If I have to go out for some reason I’ll be wearing bathing suit bottoms.
You know what? You know what? Yeah.: Truthful... →
beefranck:
(or how this post made me think about why I have so much difficultly believing that people love me.)
I was what the kids in my school used to make fun of each other.
It all started with one boy. Let’s call him Jock Handsome. He and a couple of his friends walked past me as I sat on the curb…
People are fuck heads. Not you. But everyone else. FWIW I was always the outcast...
Music swap piece is done!
vegkat:
Now I have to wait until my partner gets it to share pics. That makes me a sad, sad Kat.
I’m over here playing my sad trombone too because my piece is in the mail and I have to wait a few days.
6. the person you like and why you like them
I think this means my husband.
I like him for so many reasons that I can’t possibly list them all in blog format. In a nutshell: he supports me in whatever I want to do/try/be. He’s a loving person who would give anything to keep our family happy and healthy. He’s extremely selfless and giving. He’s very talented and artistic and I don’t love him just because he can...

5. 5 things that irritate you about the opposite...
When men overcompensate, afraid of seeming sexist, and don’t help me with carrying heavy boxes, moving furniture, etc. It has nothing to do with gender! It’s simple mechanics! I’m 4’10” and not super strong, so if you see me struggling, give a sister a hand!
I hate having to pretend that I care about things like fashion and designer shoes just because other women...

4. what you wear to bed
I’m boring. I wear pajamas. BUT! Most of my pajamas have some sort of holiday theme to them, which is rarely seasonally appropriate. Last night, my PJs were covered in black bats and jack-o-lanterns.
Full of Myself Friday
My crafts got blogged about today.
I received a new, fun commission request.
I get to start a new project tonight.
My boss just gave me 15 minutes of atta-girls, an excellent review, and a handful of accolades.
